Last night I returned home after a refreshing visit to a small farming community in the Midwest. We were there for the Memorial Day weekend, the Memorial Day ceremony at the local cemetery on Monday, and visits with friends and family.

Emails were waiting to greet me when we arrived home!

One of those emails is below and deals with a very current issue: What is the government, and specifically our US President, doing telling us that in schools and elsewhere, boys can use girls’ bathrooms, and that girls can use boys’ bathrooms?

He has been a Registered Professional Engineer (P.E.) for 37 years and has worked as a Civil Engineer in construction for over 40 years. Mr. Burke is a genius with statistics, and he has taken the Obama administration’s own 2015 report from the U. S. Census Bureau to formulate his tables that prove the numbers of transgenders in this country are exceptionally small.

“This is roughly 7 transgenders per 100,000 people. In an 87,000-seat football stadium, there would be about 3 transgender people.”

This report is fully documented and can be used as a part of legal briefings by those states, organizations, and individuals who are fighting Obama’s illegal transgender bathroom decree.– Donna Garner]

Title IX prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex. Of course, “sex” refers to the biological reality of being male or female, not how a person perceives his/her gender identity.

The number of transgender individuals in the U.S. is actually quite small. According to a reliable U.S. Census Bureau report, there are about 16,000 transgender individuals in the U.S. This is roughly 7 transgenders per 100,000 people.

In an 87,000-seat football stadium, there would be about 3 transgender people. In a similar way, Omaha, Nebraska has around 14 transgenders and Lincoln, Nebraska has about 9 transgender individuals.

Similar calculations for Texas would yield 30 transgender people in Austin, Texas, 42 transgenders in Dallas, Texas and 4 transgender individuals in Waco, Texas.

The Obama Administration officials are threatening lawsuits and the loss of federal funding unless the schools submit to their unconstitutional dictates.

Does Obama really want to withhold funds and take away the nutrition programs from low-income students?
